    not big on thunderdome...this is a film where you can tell Hollywood got their grubby lil hands on it.

    I got it for free today I was like "WOW REALLY?!" a friend had preordered it on Xbox One but they were all sold out so he told them he'd take the PS4 though he didn't have it. I told him he should of hit Walmart they had a midnight release so he went there after work and got his copy and just handed me his PS4 saying it was to much of a pain in the ass to take it back cause he had already opened the wrapping. I bought him lunch as a thank you. In other news, little bummed I couldn't keep my Beta character but I'll live. I went with an unorthodox move for someone like myself and skipped being a Titan and went Warlock. It's VERY different for me.

    I don't mind online games. I just don't like paying a service that much unless I'm REALLY into it. for instance I was super pissed off after buying Titan fall and found out I had to have xbox live just to play it. should of done my research before I had bought it.

    think I'm gonna pass on this game....while the storymode I guess doesn't require PSPlus other online features do to really maximize your gaming experience. And with that I'm saying "naw".

    wing kits are a good example. None of the MG's there carry that over. Hi-Nu Ver Ka doesn't have it. Really t here's a number of MG's since the 2.0's that don't have it.

    for right now I'll just sit back and wait...UT's version isn't grabbing me right now. I wanna see what MMC or if Maketoys does anything. I finally paid off enough on my CC to make my purchase on Quatron.

    bandai is completely random on when they so it. I've built more kits without that helpful guide than with it. but yes I am well aware they've been using that for a while but it should be on all MG and PG kits. I think RGs use it.

    Well I just finished Turn X. Lemme tell you, interesting kit, lots of different ways you can go about on this thing. Not a heck of a lot of this kit is even symmetrical either...but it isn't rocket science either. It works a lot in similarity to the Turn A for instructions, telling you which trees to use and such which I LOVE. Wish Bandai did that more. Biggest draw back which is also a kick in detail and size would be the weapons pack. There's a lot going on detail wise that's easy to get lost in looking at, but pretty damn simple to assemble. But it'll add a ton of weight onto the figure. Also uses the Wing Gundam platform of hands unlike Turn A which has individually poseable fingers. Gotta say though I liked how mine turned out, didn't really have any problems assembling it.

    seriously? what would possess someone to play THAT game on the oculus rift? I mean.....noooooooooo

    pff heck no. not even the same looks imo. I think that might of been one of the first GM type mobile suits I ever built....I failed at it though. I think at the time I was trying to build a customized version using different colors back when I was such a newb. I think some of the armor had snapped at the peg cause it was so thick from the paint I had used and that was that, couldn't fix it, scrapped it and built RGM-79Q instead. I do wish there were more MG variants out there of the RGM series, they may not be all winners but it's those kind of mobile suits that I THINK make better customization attempts than a Gundam. In storage I did an RGM-79 version 2 based off a role playing character I had and had to ask the GM what the mobile suit squad colors were. nailed that sucker too! was one of my best paint jobs EVER to this day...really wish I could get that sucker out and display it proudly again. Infact, there's gonna be a time where I'm gonna have to keep certain models in storage or boxed cause I've already replaced them with better versions I redone later....like Turn A for example.

    nothing wrong with liking a suit that ain't a Gundam I always say! They're all HGUC's. Although I'd love a MG of a Jegan, although I'm sure it'd be super easy to build since it lacks a few details and is very streamlined like Victory Gundam.

    so pretty much in the end, Colonial Marines for better or worse is going to end up losing more money than they ever tried to put in or take. "We're sorry you played a horrible game even though deep down in the basement files we knew it was going to be bad but we wanted to sucker you for it anyways. Here's 60 cents of your portion of the law suit you won."
  13. Hikuro
    same thing as Azrael said. as for your other Q, don't think there's a SD variant cause of its design. and sounds like you need a decal. problem is size and design. if it has white it can't be done on a normal printer as most can't produce white ink.

    Had some difficulties cause the canopy is so badly done imo...it pops off with the slightest touch. But I'm also very proud of my panel line job and tried very hard not to over do it in areas not really needing it. I gave him the beam saber and shield versus his rifle or hammer cause it felt more iconic to the character I think. Also, painting the cockpit was rather tricky. All I really did was blob a lot of white, let it dry, then a little gray on the VR hud, little blue on the controls and a little red on the pilot suit. It's not amazing, but it works.
  15. Hikuro
    wel real grade is litterally the detailing and parts count of a PG and MG at the price of a HG scaled to 1/144...so yeah. I remember how bummed out I was when Bandai USA pulled out and shut down. It really feels like there's a HUGE gap in the anime market now and no one wants to step up to the bat and re-release any of the titles cause Bandai wants a large sum of money DESPITE everything they get already. I'd really like a second chance at owning some titles like Wing, G Gundam, 00, etc etc. Bums me out we'll probably never see this franchise DVD wise on shelves again.
  16. Hikuro
    Hm, interesting, I think I'd wanna see how that looked before I"d even try that! It'll get a flat coat though in the end, give it a more metallic look I guess. I'm almost done with Turn A. I just gotta build the accessories and the core block. But I wanna work on the pilot still. Kinda odd molding it into the core block itself. just odd.

    If there's a TFAW in your area, I'd talk to them as well, good publicity and sales marketing. We do it all the time where I'm at. We're currently lending some stuff out to the cast and crew of Portlandia while they're filming. Nothing I can talk about though. But damn good publicity for us. That's better weathering technique than I could pull off. But's an idea. I dunno what I'd even shade it too, and there are so many lines on the Turn A and Turn X that it'd just be a real pain in the ass to do. BUT, I did start building my new Turn A, this is actually my 2nd attempt at the kit, and honestly, this attempt is turning out far better than my first so many years ago. I think...I wanna say I got that kit back in 09 and I enjoyed it, it was so different than others I've built. Was always a ton of Fun! I've always been a fan of Syd Mead's designs of scifi stuff...from cars, to buildings, to machines in general. Turn A was one of my favorite animes. Just wish there was a decent subtitled version of the 2 movies. God that's hard to watch as a bootleg.

    He'll just be kept IDW'ish on my shelf, not planning on playing with any of his transformations.
  19. Hikuro
    So I'm racking my brain on this. I have MG Turn A and Turn X....I dunno if I wanna make them clean builds or weathered. It's hard to choose cause they're "Super Hi-tech" mobile suits with Nano machine technology that repairs them and such, but they'd both been burried on Earth and the Moon for thousands of years....UGH SCIENCE MY BRAIN!

    I talked to Nippon-Yasan about it seeing how a 50 dolalr shipping fee shouldn't occur a Taxes and Duty charge imo, they pretty much told me TS, not their problem. I've sent an email to Fedex, I've had to many horrible experiences with them over the last few years and I pretty much try to avoid as much as possible on using their service or not doing business with a company that does. Lesson learn for me.
  21. Hikuro
    well, I'm a tad upset now. First time since I"ve used Nippon Yasan for a couple years now, I just got a notice from Fedex for 20 dollar taxes charge on top of what I already paid for shipping on this thing.

    I say that cause a buddy of mine in HS was an exchange student to Japan. He brought back some adult H manga and Gundam kits lol. Weird combination but I got G-Savior and boy....was that odd.

    nevermind man, nevermind, you didn't get it. Normally if you give them the number to the bandai kits you're looking to buy, many Hobby stores will order them up for you. Now discount wise, I dunno if they'd let ya or not...I would if I wanted the business I'd probably knock off 10-15% of my store price for such a big order. But I don't own a shop. Next up, variety of kits are easier to get ahold of than trying to get 40-100 of the same....that could be problematic as the Bandai rep might not be able to order that many of the same particular kit due to quantity on hand. Even if you get a variety, the principle of the build is the same. Grab tree C, cut parts 43, 44, 16 and 12, assemble as per the diagram be sure to follow any specifics to get the right fit, then move on. It won't matter to much if the person is building a HG 1/144 RX-78-2 or a PG Zeta Gundam...they all pretty much follow the same guidelines. Again, variety, if they're free kits to teach ppl to build they shouldn't bitch and moan that someone got 00 Riser and then someone got a Zaku. I'd be happy with whatever I got, even if it were G-Savior.

    That is the WORST headsculpt implemented for this gimmick BECAUSE of the gimmick. The side panels of the head are to wide and away from the face, and the V Fin/Unicorn Horn is freakishly HUGE! The body looks good, but the head is horribly off.
